VH-SSA
(2) Piper PA-28R-180 Cherokee
Arrow
(c/n 28R-30386)
Insurance brokers Stewart Smith Australia adopted the personalised
registration VH-SSA when
they
took delivery of their Cherokee Arrow in April 1968.
It was certainly available by then,
the
original user of the rego, Superspread Pty Ltd,, having long
disappeared. David Carter’s
photo of -SSA(2) above shows it at Bankstown on November 28, 1970 but
it was just as often
seen parked in the GA park at Mascot. By 1976 it
had a new owner in Brisbane. –SSA was
operating from Orange when it crashed at Gulgong, NSW, on November 11,
2007 and was
written off.
